A Braye Little ISOy.

AsHTABULA,O., Feb,4.-During the absence
of William Morrison, of this city, from his
home Tuesday night Mrs. Morrison pre-
pared bowl of paris green and water,
which she attempted to force her six chill
dren to drink. She succeeded only with
one, little girl of six years. The mother
then threatened to cut her own throat, but
was deferred by an eight-year old son, who
suggested hanging as an easier mode of dy-
ing. A rope was obtained, and the little fel-
low went aloft in an unfinished portion of
the house and tied the rope to jOist. The
mother then secured barrel, got upon 1t,
placed her head through the moose, kicked
over the barrel and swung off. The child
then hurried aloft, cut the rope and saved
his dying mother. At tast accounts the little
girl is hanging to life by thread, and the
mother is too prostrated to realize her near
ness to eternity or the fearful crime she so
nearly consummated.

SPAIN'S BABY KING.
How He Must he Treated According t
the Regulations of Court Etiquette

How He Must BE Treated According to
the Regulations of Court Etiquette.
The baby King of Spain is a fine,
handsome shild, who enjoys robust
health and does credit to the immense
amount of care with which he is sur
rounded. Though court etiquette re-
quires that the baby Alphonso XIII.
should be treated with the most rigid
ceremony, his mother will never call
him 1.-The King" unless on very strict
state occasions, but uses the simple
term of "my child" His Majesty has
his own vast suite of apartments next
to those of the Queen Regent, and
special guard keeps his bedroom door at
night. His foster-mother, the sturdy
peasant Raymunda, feeds and amuses
the baby; but he is washed and dressed
according to traditional ceremonial by
a bevy of ladies of honoE under the
directions of his "governess, !" who
held the same office tOwarl his father.
Doctors visit the baby twice daily, and
every day he drives out with his gov
erness and Raymunda-some tines with
the Queen. In court ceremonies, Ray
munda must not carry the King; that
if the duty of the Mistress of the Robes
or of his aunt, the 1nfanta Isabel.
Queen Christina is a most devoted
mother, spending all her spare time
with her boy, and the Infants Isabella
is equally attached to her nephew

STRANGE DISEASE.
Death of Two Victims OF Beri-Beri I'm
New York Hospital.

Death of Two Victims OF Beri-Beri In
New York Hospital.
The presence in New York city of
number of cases of beri-beri, or kak-ke,
has re-awakened medical interest in
this peculiar disease. The patients
came from San Francisco by vessel,
and three of them were taken to Belle
vue Hospital. Two of these died. On
the voyage, most of the crew were
affected with the disease, and some of
them fatally. This affection prevails
In Japan, India, South and Central
America, and in the islands of the Gulf,
and is technically considered to be a
multiple nueritis, or an inflammatory
condition of the nerves. As rule the
spinal nerves alone are implicated. but
occasionally the cranial nerves as well.
1t has been demonstrated \ h great
degree of probability by Cornelissen
and Sugenoya that beri-heri is an in
fictitious disease. the specific cause be-
ing a micro-organism resembling the
bacillus of anthrax. which is found in
the blood, muscles and nerves. In the
cases at Bellevue the nature of the
disease was not recognized at sutfi-
ciently early stage to enable the physi-
clans "a study the microbes. or to make
any cultures Of them.-Scsesoe.
